Send your kid to summer camp at the Humane Society

From furry, feathered, and reptilian-skinned, summer camp at the Humane Society is anything but a typical camp day for youngsters who love animals. Every day, kids get a chance to learn fun information about pet care, visit with a veterinarian or pet expert to learn about keeping pets healthy, and then get lots of hands-on time playing with and even bathing pets.

The Humane Society of San Antonio has had summer camp programs for about seven years and if you haven’t taken advantage of these week-long programs, then your kid is really missing something.

The pictures below show how much fun a kid can have just being around animals. The next camp is July 12-16 for ages 11 to 13; and then another camp is scheduled for August 2-6 for 8 to 13. For more information, call 226-7461.
